Hardware retaining rings

Hardware retaining rings is a general term for a variety of metal buckle products in the hardware industry, they are widely used in luggage, clothing, footwear, leather goods and other fields.

Hardware retaining rings is made of metal buckle products, according to the shape, use and material, hardware buckle can be divided into a variety of types, such as hardware belt buckle, hardware dog buckle, hardware pin buckle, hardware D buckle, hardware round buckle and so on. These clasps are usually made of metal materials such as copper, iron, zinc alloys, and have different characteristics and uses.

Function and function:

  • Visual decoration: The Hardware retaining rings can be used as an ornament to increase the beauty and uniqueness of the product. For example, in jewelry, bracelets, necklaces and other accessories, Hardware retaining rings is often used as a connector or decorative element.
  • Fixed connection: The Hardware retaining rings has a powerful fixed connection function, which can be used for hanging keys, hanging chains, hanging ropes, etc., to make the items more firm and stable.
  • Combination connection: When multiple items need to be combined or connected, the Hardware retaining rings can play an important role. For example, in the connection of key rings and small pendants, connecting different chain links, etc., the Hardware retaining rings can realize the combination and connection of different parts.
  • Load-bearing support: Hardware retaining rings usually has high strength and load-bearing capacity, and can be used in hoisting, hanging, pallet, hook and other scenarios to provide stable support for items.

Hardware retaining rings and plastic clasp have their own characteristics in terms of durability, which is more durable depends on the use of the scene, material quality and manufacturing process.

Hardware retaining rings:

  1. 1. Material characteristics: Hardware retaining rings is usually supported by metal, such as zinc alloy, metal has high strength and hardness, making the hardware buckle in the withstand external force and wear performance.
  2. 2. Corrosion resistance: Many Hardware retaining rings after special treatment, such as galvanized, chrome plating, etc., in order to improve its corrosion resistance, thereby extending the service life.
  3. 3. Durability advantage: Because of its material characteristics, Hardware retaining rings is usually more resistant to fall, wear and tear than plastic buttons, and is not easy to deform. In the need to withstand large tension or frequent use of the occasion, the durability of the hardware buckle is particularly obvious.

Plastic buttons:

  1. 1. Material characteristics: Plastic buttons are usually made of polyformaldehyde resin, POM plastic and other materials, which have high toughness, high steel and ultra-wear-resistant characteristics. However, plastics are relatively low in hardness and strength compared to metals.
  2. 2. Durability performance: Plastic buttons usually show good durability under normal use, but under extreme conditions (such as high temperature, strong ultraviolet irradiation, etc.) may accelerate aging, resulting in reduced performance. In addition, plastic buttons may be damaged during long-term use due to wear, fatigue and other factors.
  3. 3. Specific advantages: Plastic buttons have the advantages of lightweight, low cost, etc., and have advantages in some occasions with strict requirements on weight and cost (such as summer clothing, children’s clothing, etc.).

Comprehensive comparison: In the need for high strength, high wear resistance and corrosion resistance, Hardware retaining rings is usually more durable than plastic buckle. In the case of quality and cost requirements, plastic buttons may be based on their advantages because of their lightness and low cost.

Therefore, it can not be generalized to say that Hardware retaining rings or plastic button which is more durable, it needs to choose the right material according to the specific use scenario and needs. It is necessary to consider factors such as material, process, use environment and cost.
